    No worries Barge and thanks for the kind words on my reffing. By the way do you know what eliminators and interim titles equal? Sanctioning fees so if I was that into making a dollar we would be doing this. Every fight that has been sanctioned has been do so at head office, they have the final say although obviously I get input on my views; as I said before we have turned down more than we have sanctioned recently. I also disagree on what difference a challengers credentials be whether for a vacant or voluntary defence, vacant titles also are by the two highest ranked available contenders and you will see this time and again.
    Interim titles are ones we steer away from at any level unless a champ is out injured. Chad Bennett tried to organise one when Floyd Mayweather won our welterweight title.I personally think there is nothing worse than what I have seen before with 3 world champs at the one weight - Super, standard and interim - I think it was cruiserweight. Anyhow as I said you are entitled to your opinions and I respect that

    There are interesting match-ups happening in a few organisations. Take the upcoming IBF Pan Pacific title bout as an example:

    In one corner will be Heath Ellis, who is traveling along pretty well at 7 wins, 1 loss and a draw, including the very impressive TKO of Brian Fogarty a few starts back. That's the good news!

    In the other corner will be a Thai fighter with a 45 wins 32 losses and 1 draw record. Sound okay so far? Well, he's also 37 years of age and has lost his last 10 fights, 5 of them by knockout!

    Can anyone explain that to me!!

    bika will be too strong for manfredo and stop him late in fight.

    what has happened to codrington? bika vs oganov would be a good defense

    unfortanately oganov has retired by reports, the guy punched like ivan drago, shocking fundamentals but if he hit you you were pretty much lucky to see the round out, he nearly had zuniga a couple of times in that fight, fitness let him down.... this is good exposure for bika and mandy...
